Above and beyond for children with cancer
Above and beyond for children with cancer
We understand how overwhelming and exhausting it is to have a seriously ill child – some of us have been through it too.
So we offer the dedicated support of a Family Support Worker from diagnosis, throughout treatment, and beyond. They’ll meet with you in hospital and be a phone call away whenever you need them.
A Pasic Family Support Worker wears many hats. They listen, help you overcome hurdles, support you through tough times, and celebrate the good days too. They find out what your family needs and go above and beyond to make it happen.
If you’re facing a long stay in hospital, we know how to make children and teenagers smile. From craft kits to mood bears, snacks to pick-me-up packs.
We make sure special holidays and milestones are celebrated throughout the year, making the ward a more homely and happy place.
We take special care to give siblings the same treats and attention, so that they don’t feel sidelined. And we give exhausted mums and dads our ongoing support too, and easing their repeated stays in hospital with comfort bags and coffee shop vouchers. We know how to give the whole family a much-needed boost.
“You always managed to put a smile on our faces and bring light and joy into our child’s life”
We can give you financial help and vouchers to ease the burden of lost earnings, travel expenses, and other hidden costs of cancer.
Let us take your whole family out, so that everyone gets the chance to enjoy some much-needed fun and normality.
If you need a proper break from the stresses and strains of childhood cancer, we’ll refer you for a free holiday, for all the family to enjoy.
Childhood cancer significantly affects the mental wellbeing of the whole family. So you and your family may find our professional counselling, art or play therapy sessions helpful.
If you’ve been told that your child will not get better, we’re here to support you and help your family make memories you can treasure forever.
